Command Beyond Range.
GridX is a secure command-and-control platform that enables beyond-line-of-sight operation of unmanned systems. Running on DJI and Autel smart controllers, GridX connects operators to remote ground stations over IP networks, delivering real-time telemetry, video, and control with low latency and high reliability.
What is GridX
GridX transforms compatible smart controllers into secure remote command terminals: operators control unmanned systems through geographically distributed ground stations — over the internet or private networks. A familiar controller in your hands, with the ground station wherever it needs to be.
Benefits over the classic setup
The usual alternative is a laptop with software plus a separate FPV radio. GridX does the same job with a single device.
Classic setup
- ✕Laptop + FPV radio + cables and adapters
- ✕Expensive and bulky workstation
- ✕Pilots must be retrained on FPV controls
- ✕Slow deployment, more points of failure
GridX
- ✓One smart controller — everything in a single device
- ✓Lower kit and maintenance cost
- ✓Native Autel/DJI sticks and buttons — no retraining
- ✓Power on and be online in a minute
Lower cost
One controller instead of a laptop, an FPV radio and peripherals. Less hardware — less cost and logistics.
Weight & size
A compact controller instead of a whole workstation. Fits in a pouch and is always ready to go.
No retraining
Operators keep the familiar smart-controller ergonomics — sticks, buttons and touchscreen, just like native control.
Fast deployment
No cables or on-site configuration: power the controller on, pick a ground station from the list — and operate.
Beyond line of sight
Control over the internet or a private mesh network: range is defined by the network, not by a radio link.
Secure connection
Private networks and encrypted transport. Video, telemetry and control in real time with low latency.
How it works
Smart controller with GridX
The GridX app runs directly on an Autel or DJI smart controller — no extra hardware required.
IP network
The controller discovers ground stations on the local network or through a private mesh network over the internet and establishes a secure connection.
Remote ground station
The station relays control to the aircraft: the operator sees live video and telemetry and flies in real time.
